Rapid Diagnosis of Drug Resistance to Fluoroquinolones, Amikacin, Capreomycin, Kanamycin and Ethambutol Using Genotype MTBDRsl Assay: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: BackgroundThere are urgent needs for rapid and accurate drug susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis. GenoType MTBDRsl is a new molecular kit designed for rapid identification of the resistance to the second-line antituberculosis drugs with a single strip. In recent years, it has been evaluated in many settings, but with varied results. The aim of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the latest data on the diagnostic accuracy of GenoType MTBDRsl in detecting drug resistance to fluoroquinolones, amikacin, cap… Show more

“…The line probe assay, MTBDRplus version 2 (v2) (Hain Lifescience, Nehren, Germany), detects INH and RIF resistance, and the MTBDRsl (Hain Lifescience, Nehren, Germany) is designed to detect FQ, SLID, and ethambutol resistance. However, the reported sensitivities of these assays remain less than ideal for INH and SLID (14)(15)(16).…”

“…Eventually, several assessments have resulted in very different results. Thus, sensitivity was 57.1 to 100% for the detection resistance in fluoroquinolone and 42 to 100% for second-line injectable drugs (SILDs) [5]. The specificity varied meanwhile from 77.3 to 100 % for fluoroquinolones and from 47 to 100 % for SLIDs [5].…”

“…Even when available, culture-based susceptibility testing can take from weeks to months to complete. M. tuberculosis may also be tested for drug resistance using the alternative rapid, sensitive, and safer genotypic assays, which detect resistance by identifying mutations known to confer resistance to the first-and second-line drugs in a majority of clinical strains (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) and minimizes the biohazard. Genotypic testing approaches that can be reduced to a few manual steps are more amenable to use at the point of care, which can dramatically expand their availability to medically underserved populations.…”
